Ell up his greasy old felt hat, that had a

on the soil with his long toes. Such a
chastity tale seemed to be beyond comment.
They never doubted its truth; the mans

And. indeed, two Of them had heard such
stories before. Most people have who live
in the wilder parts of South Africa, though
they are not all TO be taken for gospel.
'sYous say" remarked old Silas, at last,
sSthat the woman said that o curse would
fall on them and that they would die in

Om Jacob and his wife were murdered by
a party OF MapOch's Kafirs, down ON the
edge Of that very Lydeuburg veldt. There
was a great noise about il ut the time, l
remember, but nothing came OF 1t. Baas
Frank was not there. He was away shoot

and | say some words so, and ut last the
ends touch. There, that is the circle of ON
Jacob and his wife, the EnglishwOman.
The ends have touched and they are dead.
An old witch doctor taught me to draw
the circle of q mans life and what words

Frank. All, there is a stone sticking up
in the way. The ends will not touch.
But now | work and work and work with

words, and sO-Ihe stone comes up and
ends touch now. So it is with BaaS Frank.
One day the stone will ONE up and the
ends will touch, and he, too, will die in
blood. The devil in the English
woman said so, and devils cannot lie OF
speak half the truth only. And now, look,
/ rub my foot over the circles and they are
gone, and there is only the path again.
That e that when they have died IN

stamped out. Even their graves will be
fat. and he wrinkled up his yellow face
into a smile, or rather a grin, and then
added in a matter-of-fact way:
